See full text

An aerial delivery box for release from an aircraft comprises a hold for a payload; and an impact absorbing zone for protecting the payload of the hold. The hold and the impact absorbing zone are formed of biodegradable materials. The impact absorbing zone comprises at least one layer having a honeycomb structure, the honeycomb structure defining a cellular network extending in the plane of the layer. Also disclosed is an aerial delivery assembly comprising: the aerial delivery box; a parachute; and a plurality of shroud lines connecting the parachute to the aerial delivery box. Also disclosed is a method of delivering goods by aerial delivery, comprising releasing the aerial delivery assembly from an aircraft. The aerial delivery assembly may be released from a cargo pod of an aircraft, in particular a cargo pod comprising: a first casing attached to the aircraft; and a second casing attached to the first casing rearwardly of the first casing. The first and second casings define an opening to receive the assembly. The second casing is adapted to be releasable from the first casing so as to expose the parachute and thereby allow the parachute to inflate and extract the aerial delivery box from the first casing.
